Arc

Online games require a lot of your time, especially if you want to remain competitive and keep track of the latest developments on your server. However, it may not be feasible to remain in-game for extended periods of time, especially if you do not feel like playing. The guys from Perfect World Entertainment thought about this and came up with a tool called Arc, which is basically an all-in-one launcher, messenger, and news feed reader.

As you might have already guessed, the application only works with the Perfect World Entertainment games, such as Battle of the Immortals, Jade Dynasty, or Neverwinter. However, the advantages go far beyond being able to launch all of them from within the same program, because the tool also allows you to add your friends, chat with them, and keep track of their progress in any game they have an account with.

Thus, the application can remain in your taskbar for as long as you need, without it being annoying or consuming too many of your system’s resources. It also comes with a built-in notification feature, which warns you when something exciting is about to happen. Thanks to this neat trick, you’ll never miss a special event inside your favorite MMO, given the fact that you’ll hear about it the moment it is announced.

Many other functions are integrated as well, all of which are designed to make your life as an online gamer much easier. As an example, you can use the application to transfer in-game currency between your accounts, or even use real money to purchase various items. Not only that, but an entire web browser has been integrated into the interface as well, which can come in handy when you need to quickly access the Internet.

Speaking of which, the user interface is extremely responsive and simple to utilize, because every function is easy to reach and quite suggestive. Thus, you shouldn’t have any problems figuring out what to do or how to access certain options. Not only that, but the design itself is quite modern and classy, so you definitely won’t be embarrassed to have it displayed on your monitor for long periods of time.

All things considered, Arc is not the type of application that’s helpful to everyone, because it’s targeted at a very specific audience. On the other hand, if you are part of the Perfect World Entertainment community and you regularly enjoy their games, this tool is a definite must-have.
